The studio was filled with
the rich odour of roses
1 of 67
The gleam of the honey-sweet and
honey-coloured blossoms of a laburnum
2 of 67
Sullen murmur of the
bees shouldering their way through the long unmown grass
3 of 67
There is only one thing in the world worse than
being talked about and that is not being talked about
4 of 67
Real beauty ends
where an intellectual expression begins
5 of 67
The ugly and the stupid
have the best of it in this world
6 of 67
(Basil) I have grown to love
secrecy
7 of 67
(Lord Henry on marriage) It makes a life of deception
absolutely necessary for both parties
8 of 67
In the grass, the white
daisies were tremulous
9 of 67
It is rather the painter who on the
coloured canvas reveals himself
10 of 67
Conscience and cowardice are
really the same things Basil
11 of 67
He is all my
art to me now
12 of 67
An artist should create beautiful things but
but should put nothing of his own life into them
13 of 67
Don't try to influence him.
Your influence would be bad
14 of 67
There is no such thing as
a good influence Mr Gray.. all influence is immoral..
15 of 67
Because to influence a person is to
give him one's soul
16 of 67
The only way to get rid of temptation
is to yield it
17 of 67
Your rose red youth
and your rose white boyhood
18 of 67
Nothing can cure the soul but
the senses and nothing can cure the senses but the soul
19 of 67
Beauty is a form of genius
is higher indeed than genius as it needs no explanation
20 of 67
They (women) spoil romance by
trying to make it last forever
21 of 67
The heavy sent of roses seemed to
brood over everything
22 of 67
(Dorian to Basil) You like your art better than
your friends
23 of 67
(Lord Henry about Dorian) He would seek to
dominate him
24 of 67
I can sympathize with everything except
suffering
25 of 67
Men marry because they are ?; women because they are ?; both are disappointed
tired, curious
26 of 67
When is she Sibyl Vane?..Never..she is all
great heroines in the world in one
27 of 67
The brightly coloured parasols danced and
dipped like monstrous butterflies
28 of 67
The flies buzzed around the table and
crawled over the stained cloth
29 of 67
(Sibyl) You are like one of the heroes of
those silly melodramas
30 of 67
Her hair clustered around her face like
dark leaves around a pale rose
31 of 67
She trembled all over and shook like a
white narcissus
32 of 67
One's own life that is
the important thing
33 of 67
Love is a more wonderful thing than
art
34 of 67
she flung herself at his feet and
lay there like a trampled flower
35 of 67
The warm air seemed
laden with spices
36 of 67
A bee flew in and buzzed around the
blue dragon bowl that, filled with sulphur yellow roses, stood before him. He felt perfectly happy.
37 of 67
One should never make ones debut with
a scandal
38 of 67
If I had read all this in a book Harry, I think I would have wept..now that it has happened actually and to me,
it seems far too wonderful for tears
39 of 67
Someone has killed herself for love of you.
I wish I had ever had such an experience.
40 of 67
I am afraid that women appreciate
cruelty, downright cruelty more than anything else
41 of 67
It is only shallow people who require years to
get rid of an emotion..I don't want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them to dominate them.
42 of 67
You talk as if you have no heart, no
pity in you. It is all Harry's influence
43 of 67
(ironically Dorian to Basil) You are too much afraid
of life
44 of 67
The portrait must be
hidden away at all costs
45 of 67
(The yellow book) There were in it metaphors as
monstrous as orchids
46 of 67
Women who had wildly adored him..
were seen to grow pallid with shame or horror if Dorian Gray entered the room
47 of 67
It (society) feels instinctively that manners are of more importance
than morals
48 of 67
(about Dorian's friends) You have filled them with a
madness for pleasure
49 of 67
He had taken the flower out of his coat
and was smelling it, or PRETENDING to do so.....crushing the flower in his hand.
50 of 67
Each of us has ? and ? in him Basil
heaven and hell
51 of 67
What is it that one was taught to say in one's boyhood?
lead us not into temptation
52 of 67
Let us kneel down and try if we cannot
remember a prayer
53 of 67
The mad passions of a
hunted animal stirred within him
54 of 67
Peering down into the black
seething well of darkness
55 of 67
The wind had blown the fog away and the sky was like a
monstrous peacock's tail, starred with myriads of golden eyes
56 of 67
The crimson spot of a
prowling hansom
57 of 67
The woodwork creaked
and seemed to cry out as if in pain
58 of 67
Tell him to send twice as many orchids as I ordered and to have
as few white ones as possible. In fact I don't want any white ones.
59 of 67
The moon hung low in the sky
like a yellow skull
60 of 67
To cure the soul by means of the senses and to
cure the senses by means of the soul...there were opium dens where one could buy oblivion
61 of 67
In the common world of fact the wicked were
not punished, nor the good rewarded. Success was given to the strong, failure thrust upon the weak
62 of 67
Anybody can be good in the country
there are no temptations there
63 of 67
(Lord H to Dorian) As for being poisoned by a book, there is no such thing as that. Art has no
influence upon action. It annihilates the desire to act. It is superbly sterile.
64 of 67
He felt a wild longing for the unstained
purity of his boyhood
65 of 67
Had it been merely vanity that had made him do this
one good deed? Or the desire for a new sensation...
66 of 67
He was withered, wrinkled
and loathsome of visage.
